Question

In the process of respiration in plants, 180g of glucose plus 192 g of oxygen produce

• A. 264 g of $C{O}_2$, 108 g of water and 686 cal of energy
• B. 528 g of $C{O}_2$, 216 g of water and 1372 cal of energy
• C. Large amount of $C{O}_2$, no water and no energy
• D. 132 g of $C{O}_2$, 54 g of water and 343 cal of energy

Answer 1

The correct option is A 264 g of $C{O}_2$, 108 g of water and 686 cal of energy

Amount of $C{O}_2$ and water formed

• Hence, 264 g of $C{O}_2$ and 108 g of water are formed from 180 g sugar and 192 g oxygen during respiration. In this process, 686 kcal of energy is released.

Final answer: (B) 264 g of $C{O}_2$, 108 g of water and 686 cal of energy
